Businesses from across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are being encouraged to come along and ‘meet the buyer’ on 12 March 2014 at the first in a series of events by Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Bank of Ireland UK.

Fourteen of Northern Ireland’s leading companies will attend the event as buyers, holding out the potential for attendees to seal deals on the day. These include Aer Lingus; Banner Business Services; Belfast International Airport; Denroy; Dunbia; Glen Dimplex; Graham Asset Management; H&J Martin; Howden UK; Lagan Construction Group; Maurice Flynn & Sons; Mount Charles Group; Thales and Whale.

The event, which forms part of the new cross-border ‘Connecting for Growth’ programme, will allow businesses to make a pitch to these buyers whilst networking and developing links with each other through a number of activities including speed networking.
